Endgame too challenging and teamwork based (Hear me out)!

[Sixmp]

The whole point of FFXIV ARR iirc is to give content to ALL types of MMO players. Casual players who like to jump in DF and find a group should not expect to be able to complete the harder fights the game has to offer.

I personally don't expect to get into any of the harder battles because i enjoy to play these games solo or with a few friends. I have no problem with this fact. Should the game be made easier so i can do it? NO CHANCE. I used to love doing the hard stuff on FFXI because it was so hard. These days i just cannot be bothered with the effort it takes.

People need to understand that simple fact.

I basically came to post a bunch of scoffing at the idea that getting 8 people coordinated was impossible when 8 is basically the smallest endgame content scale I've encountered but it's now been said multiple times.

If you can't handle it ... don't do it? We have threads like this: "BAW! IT'S TOO HARD!" And we have threads full of "TAKE OUT VANITY PETS OMG A THING THAT JUST LOOKS CUTE AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BUST YOUR BALLS FOR A MONTH TO GET WTF?!??!" I'm not sure why people seem to think everything in a game needs to be for everyone? Play the content that suits your skill/time/interest and write the rest off as someone else's.

I quit raiding in WoW after BC because I didn't want to commit to it anymore; I didn't think they should just stop making fights/modes/mechanics that were tailored to my increased casualness. I just played what was accessible per my available time/commitment and recognized the folks in the latest & greatest gear for their higher level of time/commitment. Good God, the modern MMORPG has so much content for players of every skill level, and this one is brand new. Give it time and I'm sure they'll be adding more casual content and more difficult content.

EDIT: Sixmp beat me to it.

You can't have it both ways. Either the content is difficult, engaging and requires a team... or it's a boring faceroll.

There's no middle ground.

It's ok to just say "I've never successfully raided before" you know.

I've only raided normal modes in Cataclysm. Maybe I didn't get anything out of it due to playing a DD?
Please tell me what you consider team work and coordination... because I've never faced a wipe and thought "I could've used that thing on the add that was killing my team mate", it was always "person didn't move to x when the boss did y".

Anyway, I don't think that having a lot of extras "do's or wipe" adds anything to a game besides a false layer of difficulty.

It's already been stated as more EG content is added, previous content will be scaled down in difficulty. So you could always wait it out?

I'm not here to bash, everyone is as they say entitled to their own opinion.

Personally I am disappointed there is no match up for coil. I enjoy the game but I work long hrs. I'm geared and have my relic however because there is no duty finder for coil I cannot find parties but I simply donot have enough time to find a group. I honestly donot know if it's to hard or not. I've done titan hm. There is no way for me to do coil because there is no duty finder essentially locking players like me out of end game

Typical reply "Get better".

My skill is fine, my point is getting 8 competent people together to play decently is problematic. You actually have to schedule time to run things with people. I feel content should be attainable at anytime and should not be so difficult that you have to have all very good players to do it.

If you think your right and the content is not that hard, please duty finder Titan and let me know who that works out.

There is no other answer for your complaint.

This is an MMO. End-game raids require teamwork. Always have, always will. You will not get any end-game solo content.

If you want to finish Coil, get a competent team. The end.

You won't be successful with random people thrown together in duty finder with coil which is why it isn't in there.

I'm pretty sure Crystal Tower will be a lot easier and more convenient, since you will be able to queue for it via duty finder. Please look forward to it!

Unless you make retard-proof mechanics, odds are queuing for DF will only result in wasting more time than finding a solid Static party, while having the additional advantage of being extra frustrating... If you DO make it retard proof? CT becomes CMSR2.0.
